Disclaimer: The Radical Faeries of British Columbia embrace change and evolution as a core part of our identity. This description represents a moment in time, shaped by the collective voices and experiences of our community. As we grow and transform, so will the way we define and express who we are. 

The Radical Faeries are part of a global movement that emerged in the 1970s, deeply anchored in the counter-cultural currents of the time. 

The word radical originates from the Latin radix, meaning root. For the Radical Faeries, this idea resonates deeply with their ethos and practices. To be radical is to seek the root of things—whether it is the essence of personal truth, authentic connection, or a deeper understanding of self, community, and the natural world. 

There are Radical Faerie groups throughout the world, independent of each other, similar but with varying values and goals. The Radical Faeries of British Columbia are a dynamic and evolving assembly of people passionate about creating a vibrant authentic community, celebrating bold creativity, and nurturing mutual support.  

Nowadays, we continue to follow these principles while weaving them into our unique context. We believe in building meaningful relationships through gatherings, collective experiences, and the transformative journey of heart circles. These spaces create an invitation to be open and vulnerable, with deep listening serving as the foundation of our journey together.  

Our events celebrate the pioneer spirit of the Radical Faeries through fierce individualism and unapologetic creativity, creating an environment that allows people to explore their deepest self without judgment and with absolute acceptance.  

The Radical Faeries of British Columbia are devoted to creating community that inspires, nurtures, and celebrates diversity in all its forms. Whether through the arts, soulful conversations, or quiet contemplation, we honour our collective roots while envisioning a future of belonging, growth, and joy.
